The grey canvas

📌Chapter 26- GUESTric troubles

Nitara:

My eyes opened with the usual quota of morning sickness crawling up its way.

A wobble in the stomach, an upsurging nausea and an essence of bile- my baby reminded me of her presence once again. The little one had no idea that mommy was still stuck to the bed, unable to move even by inch. All thanks to daddy, he had tucked mommy under his arms like a goodie bag and was in no mood to leave her any soon.

Forget mood, daddy was busy sleeping like a rhino. And the only human feature that could be detected in him was a never fading smile on his lips, as beautiful as the sunshine itself and a creaseless forehead that defined how peacefully he slept last night.

Oh, even I had such a beauty sleep last night! Dozing off in the arms of your man, feeling loved and cared and being taken care of as if you are a diamond, is there anymore more precious on this earth?

Maybe not.

Lucky I was to gain this preciousness in a single lifetime.

Meanwhile, my stomach wobbled up once again, much stronger this time so that I could no longer enjoy the warmth of Dev's arms but just pushed him aside and rushed for the washroom. Once infront of the basin, I puked away whatever meagre food was left inside. The process was exhausting as usual, it drained away all my energy in a flow. But atleast it was satisfying to believe that we mother-daughter were communicating with each other this way!

I touched my tummy and breathed in air, splashed some cold water on my face and stepped out when felt a little better.... only to find Dev still sleeping upon his tummy. No wander he totally looked like a lill adorable baby but right now, it was the same reason why I hated him.

It was time for him to take care of his own baby and not to act as a baby himself!...He should have learnt that by now!!!

Stupid him. I cursed under my breathes.

But the next moment I realised that this wasn't anything new. Dev was always this stupid. ALWAYS..... He never knew how to deal with women, how to confess his heart or how to trust his love and how to respect her..now he didn't know how to support his girl during her puking sessions!

Heights of irresponsibilty he had reached, had turned into a complete moron and still expected me to stay by him and love him as if we were the happiest couple on this earth! Like seriously!!

Uff..how do I ever explain how much I hated this man!

Oh well, I hated him for a time infinite and still agreed to settle with him, to stay under the same roof.. see each other..touch each other..feel each other and grow old with each other! Like.......how did I manage to gather this optimism from?  Wasn't it strange??

-More than strange, its stupid. Even you know it well that you can't stay with this menace of a man! Mind probbed wisely.

Neither can I stay away. Period. I countered her. Period. I had seriously no idea what was wrong with me.

Mood swings? Maybe. Afterall its natural during pregnancy. But then why isn't Dev there to handle them?

Fuming with irritation, I marched towards Dev and sprang upon him, shouting in his ears vehemently-
"WAKE UP DEV."

Two screams later, he woke up, only partially though and looked at me as if I was being a monster who spoke hebru! Duh!!

-"Whats wrong? Why are you screaming??" He asked in a sleepy voice and fought hard to seperate his eyelids apart.
